Overview

Dandelion Chocolate makes bean-to-bar chocolate by sourcing cocoa beans directly from origin and handling every step of the process in-house. Their product work flow includes roasting, cracking, winnowing, grinding, refining, and tempering small batches before molding and packaging bars, plus confections. They also operate a pastry kitchen and chocolate salon, offering tours and classes to show customers how single-origin chocolate is made and how flavors develop from different beans. What sets them apart is full control over the supply chain and production, direct partnerships with cacao growers, and a focus on small-batch, single-origin products, with collaborations and in-store confections available in multiple locations. Their goal is to bring out the unique flavors of each cocoa bean while sharing chocolate with the public through education, retail, and experiences.
